Dear Friends,
Welcome to the 2016 fair season, a family-centric entertainment staple which pays homage to our rich agricultural heritage. Millions of Michigan residents and tourists attend county fairs every year, which are an annual family tradition for many. These events are wonderful opportunities to experience Pure Michigan at its finest. There is much to be excited about in Michigan agriculture today and our county fairs are part of that growing enthusiasm.
I am proud of both Michigan’s 4-H program and the tremendous accomplishments of our FFA peers. Thanks to Michigan’s local and county fairs, our youth have the opportunity to showcase their hard work while educating fairgoers about the state’s food and agriculture industry. There are tremendous career opportunities to explore in a variety of areas including biotechnology, microbiology, soil science, metrology and more.
Our county fairs are full of local charm and agricultural traditions. This year, be sure to make visiting one of Michigan’s local or county fairs part of your summer travel plans.
Sincerely,
Rick Snyder Governor

Youth and 4-H ExhibitorsThe Antrim County Fair is open to all Antrim County residents. Youth do not have to be a member of a 4-H Club to participate in most classes. Only exhibitors selling animals in the 4-H Livestock Auction are required to be members of an Antrim County 4-H Club. This applies only to the Record Keeping - Market Project (3540) and classes in the Large and Small Livestock sections which use the word “market” in the class title. All other classes are open to all youth. We do use many 4-H standards for our judging criteria, but everyone is welcome to enter the fair. We look forward to seeing you.

Important Information for Vendor Applicants
Rules: 1. Booth space is limited to a 10x10 space and will cost $35.00 for all 3 days or $15.00 per day;
Non-profit businesses with an educational booth will be no charge, otherwise a fee for a 10x10 space will be assessed. Youth 18 and under will pay $5.00/day. Payment must accompany the application if required; if payment is not received with the application, your application will not be processed until it is received. See Notification Policy for more information.
2. Once payment has been made, cancellation of space will result in the forfeit of all payments if the request was made after deadline (see below for the cancellation policy). No-shows will forfeit all payments. Refunds will not be made due to rain or if the vendor feels the event did not meet their expectations.
3. There is NO electricity available for vendor use at any of the booth spaces (see below for Power Supply policy). Food and beverage sales are not allowed at the Antrim County Fair; there is a Fair-sponsored food booth on-site.
4. All vendors must keep their booth staffed while open. The Antrim County Fair will not be responsible for unattended booths.
5. Please remember that all property must be kept completely within the boundaries of your assigned space. Handouts and brochures must be contained within a booth space (you may not walk around to distribute) and they must be approved by the Antrim County Fair Board prior to the Fair.
6. You may not share or sublet your space with another business, firm or person without advance written permission from the Fair Board.
7. Booths must be disassembled no later than 1:00 p.m. on Sunday August 14, 2016.
8. The Antrim County Fair will not be held liable for any lost, stolen, or broken items.
9. Please keep in mind that the Antrim County Fair is a youth oriented fair so we ask that all people conduct themselves accordingly. If the Fair Board feels that your actions and speech is unacceptable you may be asked to leave; if you have been asked to leave, you will not receive a refund of your booth fee.
Notification: If your application is accepted, you will receive official notification prior to the start of the fair. If for some reason, your application is not accepted or spaces are full, you will be notified by mail (booth spaces are limited). Until you receive confirmation, your space is not guaranteed. If your application is denied for any reason, your check will be returned or a refund will be issued. Power Supply: The Antrim County Fair cannot offer any vendor power. If you use a battery device to provide electricity, it must be contained within your booth space and neighboring booths must not be disturbed by exhaust fumes or noise. You must indicate your intention to use these devices on your application. No generators allowed. Cancellation: If a vendor finds it necessary to cancel participation in the Antrim County Fair, a refund will be made only if cancellation is received in writing to the Antrim County Fair on or before July 30, 2016. In such an event, the Antrim County Fair will refund to the vendor the total amount the vendor has paid. Any cancellations received after July 30, 2016 and no-shows will not receive a refund.
